Description

This 1956 Dodge Custom Royal D-500 Convertible is an exceptionally rare example of Dodge’s first-year D-500 performance package, offered in one of the most desirable body styles and trim levels. Of the slightly more than 900 D-500 package cars produced, only a very small number were convertibles, and even fewer were built as Custom Royals, making this car a true standout.

Finished in a classic black and white color combination, this D-500 presents beautifully and reflects careful restoration and preservation throughout.
